Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

Before heading out i needed to test out the new milk frother my sister got me for Christmas. 

Ready to take the snowshoes out for a spin, thanks Santa!

Sweet view of the the Wenatchee from the first lookout.

We made it! Gorgeous view of Plain and the Beaver Valley in the background.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

My routine of late is to wake up,  look outside and notice the clean fresh new snow.

Next, I groggily check the Stevens Pass snow report on my phone. Then I stumble into the shower. Feeling more alive, I shake the kiddos awake while broadcasting the new fresh that fell. Today, it was another 14 inches. This number is key to getting the kids to move. After slapping all our gear together, we roll outside and get to work loading the boards, and clearing off the car.

Then we cruise to Stevens Pass, and for the first few runs, we catch some low hanging fruit powder.

As the day passes, and the in bounds gets tracked, we do a little hike, and the fresh tracks start all over again.

Life is good.

Weekend Hike in Shugart Flats

It was a lovely book club get away to Poofy's Paradise this weekend.  We managed to squeeze in the local Shugart Flats hike before the wind storm. Shared the trail with this cutie.

Photography Fun

Its so much fun taking pictures around Poofy's Paradise. Here's a few black and whites I shot this weekend. A little still life with coffee.

Cabin Views

Looking forward to my morning coffee tomorrow; I love Poofy's deck off the master bedroom.

My absolute favorite tree!

When you wander past Poofy's old Christmas tree farm, there's this beautiful view of Shugart Flats. Catch it at sunrise if you're awake early and don't forget to listen for the sounds of the horses neighing and shuffling about.

Beautiful Sunset at Hidden Lake

We went out to always amazing Hidden Lake to watch the sunset this evening. So stunning and serene at this time of day. Hidden Lake's about a 10 minute drive followed by a quick 15 minutes or so hike.
